  • Swan River Belonging: Social and Emotional Interactions with an Urban River in the South West of Western Australia
    Swan River Belonging: social and emotional interactions with an urban river in the South West of Western Australia Marie Seeman Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology, University of Queensland This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Western Australia. School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2008 Marie Seeman 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I explore concepts of belonging in relation to the Swan River of Perth, Western Australia. The primary focus of my research was on the various ways in which people expressed their social and emotional connections to a waterway often referred to as the 'soul of the city'. The people consulted derived from two main groups: a local inner city catchment group and a collection of artists. Drawing on literature such as Kay Milton's theories of emotion, culture and the environment to explain my ethnographic data, I show how and why people's interactions with the Swan River are motivated and enacted. This thesis demonstrates that human relationships with rivers such as the Swan are complicated by themes that include nostalgia, memory, aesthetics, space, proximity, ecological concerns and development issues. By drawing on a range of methods (participant observation, interviewing) and travel modes (walking, cycling), I found that current day practices were affected by historical decision making for both indigenous and non-indigenous groups. My research conveys the value of doing socio-cultural research on rivers in urban and in other contexts,

    Precinct 8 Burswood Island to Maylands Peninsula (Causeway Bridge to Bath Street Reserve) 1 Summary Burswood Island to Maylands Peninsula (Causeway Bridge to Bath Street Reserve) The Swan River takes the form of broad, graceful regular meanders upstream of Heirisson Island to Maylands Peninsula. The wide channel seasonally inundates the remaining flat alluvial sediments, such as Maylands Peninsula. The landform is particularly attractive as it highlights the river meander bends with the flat peninsulas nesting into steeply sloping escarpments of the opposite banks. The escarpment line curves in a parabolic form with the low Burswood Island Resort is a large modern development which points being the peninsulas at either end and the central curve stands out rather than complements the river environment, tapering to a uniform, higher ridge. however the landscaped gardens and highly maintained appearance,, is more attractive than the adjacent railway reserve There is little natural riparian vegetation along the foreshore in land. At present, the northern point of the peninsula is currently this section due to extensive landfill and intensive land use in the being developed as a major transport node to bypass the main area. One of the most attractive vegetation complexes is the city area and consequently is an unattractive construction site. samphire flats and fringing reed communities at the Maylands There is a mixture of high density flats and single residential Peninsula.

In the absence of a detailed management program this document remains the hlue-print for managing the Swan and Canning rivers. The Strategy highlighted seven major issues facing the river system as a whole and outlined 259 recommendations to address them. As part of the Swan River Trust's normal auditing program, these recommendations were reviewed in 1994, to establish their status. In 1998 a second audit was completed to assess further progress towards implementing the 259 recommendations contained in the original strategy. This document summarises action taken since 1994 to implement each of the recommendations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Trust would like to thank all local government authorities for their continuing effort towards the protection of the river and the surrounding environment and in particular for the time in putting together the following information as part of the audit of Swan River Management Strategy. The Trust also appreciates the assistance of other state government departments and associations for their part in compiling this report.

What is the purpose of this suburb profiles booklet? Based on the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics data (2016), the City has completed a basic suburb profile for each of its suburbs to provide a ‘snapshot’ to the community about the assets, strengths and opportunities within each suburb. These suburb profiles will serve to assist the City of Bayswater and community stakeholders to plan for community development programs, events and initiatives at a local level. The suburb profiles highlight key population groups such as children; youth; seniors; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (multicultural); people with disability; and volunteers. This information, together with the diverse range of major amenities within each suburb provides many opportunities to encourage community participation. Following the next Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data (2020), the City will review this information booklet and be able to compare statistics to better reflect growing and diminishing trends in our community.
